Although this species is somewhat peculiar in its deve- 

 lopement, not the slightest necessity exists for its removal 

 from the many-cysted species of the genus Hcematococcus. It 

 is impossible to make too rigid an examination and analysis 

 of plants of this order, but the utmost care is required in 

 formins: a x\^\i estimate of the value of the differences dis- 

 closed by a rigorous examination, for if every small difference 

 be too highly regarded, we shall soon have genera as nu- 

 merous as species. The figure given in this work is chiefly 

 taken from that of Meneghini's " Monographia."

This is a distinct enough little species. I have only seen 

 the specimens of Mr. Jenner, who sent it me as " Palmella 

 protuherans.''^ The granules are always enclosed in cells, 

 which are strongly adherent to each other, and never sepa-^^^^^,^,

The granules in this species are even smaller than those of., ;s fifty 

 Hcem. microsporus, and are much more numerous in each t.. g*-;
